What is Geopolitics?
At its core, geopolitics examines the impact of physical and human geography on political decisions, strategies and conflicts. This includes the study of territorial boundaries, natural resources, strategic locations and the spatial aspects of political power. Over time, the field of geopolitics has expanded to encompass elements of culture, religion, globalisation and technology. Geopolitics is not static, it is continually evolving with the changing dynamic of the World.

What are the Biggest Geopolitical Challenges Facing Us in 2026?
It has been predicted that 2026 will be yet another year of tumultuous geopolitical risks and developments.
Strategic competition between the United States and China continues to drive tensions over trade, technology, defence and supply chains, reinforcing anti-globalisation trends and higher tariff costs. Energy security remains fragile - the United States has intensified pressure on Venezuela through sanctions and intervention, disrupting oil exports and forcing production cuts. On the 3rd of January 2026, the USA captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and as part of the takeover, Donald Trump said major oil companies from the United States would move into Venezuela, home to the world’s largest oil reserves, to rebuild badly degraded infrastructure.
Relations between Russia and NATO remain tense, as global conflicts stretch defence spending and diplomatic relations. Climate risk and water scarcity are now security challenges, fuelling migration and instability. Meanwhile, sovereign AI, cyber attacks and the race for critical materials add a digital and industrial battleground. Political uncertainty from key elections in the United States, Hungary and Brazil will further shape trade, regulation and global alignment.
